As I was scrolling through the "environment" Google News headlines on my phone I found this one (Stand-up Economist proves otherwise):
Yoram Bauman, the world's first and only Stand-Up Economist, stopped off at Lancaster University Management School this month during his UK and Europe tour.
An economist and stand-up comedian, Yoram works at the University of Washington, specialising in environmental economics. He regularly performs at colleges, universities, companies and comedy clubs.
Yoram performed his stand-up routine to a packed and appreciative audience of students and staff in the George Fox lecture theatre on 10 May 2012. Earlier in the day he showed his serious academic side, delivering a seminar on his research interests in environmental economics.
The video doesn't show any of the "S*** happens" jokes, but those are funny. I don't care who you are.
And, by the way, I have recently read Yorams fat tails paper. It got me this much closer to understanding that stuff.
